The Strategic Imperative
The minerals the West needs are already here
Every year in North America, $20 billion worth of metals are lost in tailings ponds. 100B+ tonnes generated annually. Conventional methods recover zero minerals and cost billions in perpetual treatment.

How It Works
The TersaClean Platform
One system. Mineral extraction + environmental remediation. Contaminated water in, clean water and critical minerals out.
Acid Rock Drainage Input
Contaminated water pumped from mine site. The feedstock that conventional methods treat as a cost center.
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC)
Bioelectric extraction of valuable minerals. Cu, Li, Fe, Co, Ni, rare earths, precious metals. 90%+ recovery.
MICP Neutralization
Carbonate precipitation removes contaminants. 99.9% contaminant removal. Clean water + land as output.
Extracted Minerals
Cu, Li, Fe, Co, Ni, rare earths, precious metals. 90%+ recovery. Direct supply to Western markets.
Clean Water + Land
99.9% contaminant removal. Treated effluent + carbonates for fertilizer. Carbon-neutral process.
Market Opportunity
Government capital creating the market
Tersa captures the $21B North American mandate for clean water while unlocking billions in trapped critical mineral value.
